faith

A few years back I created a website that was meant to be a gathering place for LDS artists, but because of limited time I never really made it what it could have been. But as part of that project I researched some information that I want to keep for future reference:

In my personal scripture study I've been reading lately about the importance of humility and the dangers of pride. I think I probably haven't done the best job in the world of giving God more praise for what He has done for me. When people give me compliments about my work, as they sometimes do - I usually just say "Thanks very much". I never deflect any of the praise to God, or even bring him up. Even though the truth is, He has helped me in so many ways.

Tom Wheeler is a northwest artist, and realist artist. He lives in Battle Ground WA, (Southwest WA), near Portland Oregon. Tom loves to paint landscapes, nature scenes, people, and water. Rivers and rocky riverbeds feature prominently in his art. He also enjoys painting the northwest coast. In his work he tries to achieve a loose painterly style at times, and at other times he shows more control and rendering abilities. He paints in a realistic style.
